MrBAYES (Application)

Introduction

MrBayes http://mrbayes.csit.fsu.edu/ is a program for the Bayesian estimation of phylogeny. It is compiled on SHARCnet for both serial and parallel (MPI) usage. Since the MPI version parallelizes across MCMC chains, it can run very efficiently on loosely-coupled clusters without a high-performance interconnect. Parallelization is across chains, so you need at least as many chains as processors.
